Part II. Self-Assessment

The Department of Correction (DOC) received correspondence from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) on May 28, 2004 determining the Notice of Intent (NOi) submission was administratively complete. From the time the NOl's were prepared and before they were submitted the DOC began a prioritization list of areas for investigation including but not limited to:

• Entry Points into the storm drainage system(s) maintained by the DOC. • Documentation of discharges points on and off the DOC property. • Coordination with Town(s) that are also MS4s • Illicit connections identification (None were found). • Investigation of infrastructure and identification of problem drainage areas.

Through the State of Massachusetts Clean State Program, NCCI had an oil-water separator (OWS) installed to handle parking lot drainage three years before the Phase II program required a NOi to be submitted. Each DOC operation was critically evaluated to determine what repairs were necessary. In summary, the storm drainage systems operated by the DOC at Gardner are not combined systems where sewer and storm water is discharged. The OWS is inspected approximately every six months and is cleaned as necessary.

The DOC has held numerous training sessions with the DOC executive board, the Directors of Engineering and Environmental Health and Safety Staff. Training will continue through the summer and in the later part of the current fiscal year and next fiscal year as funding becomes available. Training included an introduction of the program, the importance of the program and goals that were set for the first 5 years of the permit program. Ongoing and informal training has continued more so on a case by case basis.

Over the past 7 years storm drains had been systematically cleaned. Minor repairs are such as patching asphalt, and fixing catch basin rims were required. The roadway between the two wind turbines required material to be brought in to stabilize the shoulder and repair some washouts.

Lastly, a full utility of map of the facility was completed.

Part IV. Summary of Information Collected and Analyzed

At the NCCI, the locations of the drain lines and outfalls have been identified. Paving of the perimeter road, catch basin work and access drives solved many problems at the facility. The facility has been charged to conduct routine inspections and take corrective actions as needed. Currently, irunate labor is used to pick-up litter and other roadside debris.

Of note the NCCI Facility constructed a sand and salt shed in 2001.

Will continue to monitor roadway for the two wind turbines- repairs will be made as necessary and as needed. After storm events, road conditions will be documented.

Work has been funded for the past year for additional drain cleaning.
